Tyne & Wear set to face off for ultimate crown in 2018

This week sees the 2018 launch of the North East GB contest, and organisers are promising the most competitive yet – Miss Tyne and Wear GB.

For the first time finalists from Newcastle and Sunderland will compete on the same night to be crowned the first Miss Tyne and Wear GB and win the ultimate crown for a place at the Miss Great Britain final in 2018.

In 2018 Headline Models are delighted to be celebrating ten years of staging the Miss events in the North-East. For this very special year Headline Models Ltd and Sarah Janes are excited to bring you Miss Tyne & Wear GB. The event is sponsored by Novellus Aesthetics and the organisers are delighted to be supporting Global’s Make Some Noise for the fourth year, Giles Tanner from Global “Its fantastic to be involved in Miss Tyne & Wear GB and look forward to raising as much as we can for youngers and their families living with illness, disability or lack of opportunity”.

In 2018 the event organisers are taking you back, back to the days of Disco and Studio 54 and for the first time finalists from Newcastle and Sunderland will compete against each other to be crowned the first Miss Tyne and Wear. The final takes place on Saturday 26th May at Newcastle Gateshead Hilton Hotel.

Miss Tyne and Wear GB Co-Director Simon Robertson said: “We are so excited to be staging this event in 2018, I have been running these events for ten years next year and really wanted to do something special to mark this occasion. For the first time we will be crowning one winner, with finalists from Newcastle and Sunderland competing for the ultimate title”

Organisers want this unique event to be a pageant with a difference and for contestants to reflect the real women of Tyne and Wear, this is open to anyone with or without experience.

In 2017 Miss North East GB was held and Miss Newcastle Bethany Tuckwood and Miss Sunderland GB Megan Brenan were crowned and went onto compete at Miss Great Britain in September.
